You can either relax in the bar area and enjoy friendly conversation and half-off martinis while catching your favorite sports team overhead, or enjoy fine dining at one of the charming tables or booths. The combination of elegant lighting, friendly and professional staff, great food, and the constant sound of jazz, make Harry's a perfect destination for either a romantic evening or a fun night out with friends."
